Writing Scavenger Hunt

[Scavenger Hunt] This assignment has two parts. Part One: For the next week, you're on a scavenger hunt. Usually, when you have a scavenger hunt, you physically gather objects on a list. Instead of gathering the objects on your list, write complete descriptions of the items as you find them. You'll use these descriptions in an assignment next week.
an angry exchange
something unpleasant
an out-of-place object
something fresh, new, or unused
a well-loved object
a lost or forgotten object
something well-used
a home-made or hand-made object

[Something unpleasant] a bunch of squishy, thick, light-brown sit at the bottom of the toilet, a urine-soaked square of toilet paper concealing them, and littler, not as graceful-looking floating above them in a light-yellow pool of liquid.

[Something fresh, new, or unused] I stare at my new swimsuit. There are light-green, blueberry, strawberry-pink and bright white polka dots all over the sky-blue background, except for where a pink thick bodice cuts across at the waist. It would favor my chest.

[A well-loved object] I always strained to zip up my cuddly, soft, bright yellow and light orange furry cat-face design traveling pillow/blanket. The peeling dirty-yellow colored zip-tag never budged.

[Something well used] The shelf I used to store my school and home stuff had two plastic red drawers on the top, two orange drawers under that, and then two green drawers, and two drawers of blue and purple under that. They each had a shiny silver plastic knob for handles, and the metal frame that held the whole thing together was always icy cold from lack of touch. The stuff inside the labeled drawers was constantly messy, even if it was just papers.

[An out-of-place object] The one knotted red poppy flower designed curtain always looked out of place in our messy home because that knot is of a fashionable kind, and I had seen it in a popular restaurant. The thick, simple knot interrupting it’s rough fabric just looked out of place.

[an angry exchange] The filthy Lady Sabrina and Sir Pelham de Bone were trading insults. They shouted and shrieked, but their ugly insults were nothing compared to their own ugliness. Lady Sabrina was losing her bloodstained, yellow little toe, and Pelham had slapped it because he didn’t want it to fall out.


[a forgotten object] I hugged the huge, silky, curly-haired and soft dolphin. It was good to see it again. Even though it was almost as big as me, it was great for throwing in the air. It had hard, black, and shiny eyeballs, which were only attached to the cloth of the dolphin, so I loved to turn them upside-down when I was excited.

[a home-made object] I had a beautiful drawing of a waterfall and a waterfall's background that wasn't quite finished yet, but it was still beautiful. I had used Van Gogh's style for this, using diffrent colored stripes to make the sun on the hills above the waterfall, the waterfall and the river from which it came, and the the earthy wall that the waterfall fell over. I had stuck pieces of paper and cardboard to the wall for rocks, and a verse to the wall on the left of the wall. I had mixed together the stripes on the waterfall and the wall on the right of the waterfall by running water [real water] over it. It was the wall on the left of the waterfall that was not finished.
